Z petition was received signed by a num-
Der of property owners, asking that Twenty
fifth street, from R to II, be improved by
grading, etc. The matter was referred to
the Street Commissioner. The assessment
roll for the improvements made on Twelfth

The bills were then looked over.
Two bills submitted by the Chief of
Police were not allowed One was
to the amount of 81 so as salary
for man employed to watch the Claik
property on J street while the pottery was
on fire. and the other was 81 80 for repair
ing windows in the Chiefs office The
Board stated that the Chief had ordered the
work done without their authority.
a communication was received from L.
9. Hart, City Attorney, asking that the
Board allow him $25, due him as part
payment of the month of April, 1886. Mr..
Hart makes the same claim as ]. j. Buck
ley did last week. 1t appears that the
election took place some time near the
middle of April and he drew but $125 as
his salary for the month. The statute says
that the City Attorney shall receive S1,S00
year, and Mr.. Hart proposes to have the
full amount. The Board granted the bill
and said it was evident that W. W. Ander-
son, Harris predecessor, had appropriated
$25 more than his share

The Colored Orator.

The hall of the Young Mems Christian
Association was crowded last night with
young men and their lady friends, who
were anxious to hear Rev. John H. Hector
well known in San Francisco as the colored
orator. Rev. A. I. Needham, pastor of the
Sixth-street NJ. L. Church, presided, and in
introducing the speaker referred to the fact
that Mr.. Hector is not only pulpit light
soldier in Christs army, but also soldier
OF the Union, having fought in the Eleventh
United States Heavy Artillery during the
late civil war. On rising, Mr.. Hector was
most cordially received by the audience
He is certainly one of the blacklist of the
black, and is in all respects typical negro
lie spoke without notes, and as his subject
was " The Story of My Life" it will readily
be seen his lecture was an autobiography
be has keen sense of humor, and swayed
his audience from laughter to, we had al
most said tears, for it often merged that
way, as tree rocked by the wind
His account of his first sight of and
ride on locomotive was irresistibly
amusing, and the same remark applied to
his account of his efforts to straighten his
hair and bleach his skin. The latter he
sought to accomplish by drinking vast
quantities of buttermilk, but the effort
nearly proved fatal. The terror caused by
his advent in the town of Burlington, Ill,
for he was the first colored person to &c
there, was graphically portrayed. He
wound up his lecture with an account OF
how he learned at mans estate to read and
write. While the audience were frequently
moved to laughter, his telling hits al
some of the follies of the present day re.
called them to sober thoughts and ELECTED
hearty approval. In conclusion, he recited
some original verses, with the intense fire
and earnestness that an African displays
when he is moved by emotion. In conse-
quence of next Monday being observed as
Christmas. the second business talk will be
given the following Tuesday evening, De-
cember 9th, by Captain Charles Goodall
of San Francisco, of the we'll known firm

ment Of the facts connected with the crime
of which the petitioner was convicted
when sentenced, and for how long; what
Communication has been earned by good be-
havior whether this is the first imprison-
ment, and whether prior applications for
release have been made; and, finally,
setting forth any special grounds for con-
sideration.
2, The petition must be verified by some
person or persons cogniZant of the facts.
3. AT least ten days before the petition
for pardon is filed, written notice of the
intention to apply therefor must be served
upon the District Attorney of the county
where the conviction was had, and proof,
by affidavit, of this service must be pre-
scented with the petition.
4. A copy of the notice must also be pub
lished for thirty days from the first publica-
ton, in daily paper in the county in which
the conviction was had, or in some daily

signed by the Judge who tried the case, the
District Attorney or jurors, it must be &C
companied by the certificate of the Clerk

T. Should the signatures of the commit
ting Judge, the prosecuting attorney or any

be accompanied in each case by statement
from the signer, giving the newly dlscov-
cred facts, or altered or extenuating circum-
stances which have produced the change in
his opinion since the trial. The Governor
will not consider the signatures of these
